David Tudor as Composer/Performer in Cage's Variations II
Understanding David Tudor's transition from performer to composer is critical to understanding his life and work.

Amish Cuisine
Les convictions religieuses de la communauté Amish et son souci de suivre les préceptes de la bible influencent tous les aspects de son existence, et par voie de conséquence sa cuisine. Ses origines germaniques ont un effet semblable. Dans cette société agricole, ce sont les femmes qui font la cuisine, pour des familles souvent très nombreuses. Aussi font-elles une cuisine abondante, riche en graisses, sucres et amidons et beaucoup de pâtisseries…
